too late, arriving too lateBut I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grassMade enough money to buy miami, but I pissed it away so fastNever meant to last, never meant to lastI have been drunk now for over two weeks,Passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaksBut I've got stop wishin', got to go fishin'I'm down to rock bottom againJust a few friends, just a few friendsNice to see all of our friends every year. thank youFriends.Now I go for younger women, lived with several awhileThough I ran 'em away, they'd come back one dayAnd I still could manage a smileSure takes a while, just takes a whileMother, mother ocean, after all my years I've foundOccupational hazard being my occupation's just not aroundFeel like I've drowned, but I won't wear a frownFeel like I've drowned, I'm gonna go check outPeachtree street somewhere downtown
